opening sequence analysis

MONSTERS INC



The opening sequence of Monsters Inc introduces the company and credits of the production team that created the film.  The jazz music backing these titles is cheery and creates a happy atmosphere, which sets the genre of the film (family and comedy), making it accessible of children.  Furthermore, the bright colours used adds to this atmosphere, which appeals to a family audience and is entertaining. The sound can also appeal to an adult audience because they can relate to it and appreciate it more than just something fun to listen to.

The opening sequence also displays animations of monsters, a key feature of the film as well as the doors in  which the monsters travel through to enter the human world.  Consequently, this emphasises that the doors and the monsters are an important part of the films plot, which is supported once the film has begun.

Walt Disney is a Media conglomerate, which is a parent company of Pixar animation Studios that produced the film Monsters Inc.  Pixar's opening sequences for their feature films all have a similarity of being colourful, animated and fun to listen to as they are all the same genre and therefore appeal to a similar target audience.  An example of this is The Incredibles title sequence:
